Sundance SMT398VP - Manual (Page 7)

1. SCOPE
This document provides practical information on the resources available on the SMT398VP. It also
describes how to use the features of SMT398VP FPGA Tim module.
1.1. INTRODUCTION
The SMT398VP is an FPGA TIM module designed to be integrated in modular systems.
It is designed to connect to the huge range of other TIM modules and carriers developed by
Sundance.
Sundance modular solutions provide flexible and upgradeable systems.
The SMT398VP is a TIM module aimed at completing the range of Sundance Virtex II-Pro
FPGA modules like SMT351 , SMT338-VP , SMT387 and SMT395 .
It provides a communications platform between an XC2VP70 Virtex-II Pro FPGA and
• On-board Double Data Rate Dual Port QDR II memory at frequencies of up to
200MHz.
• Rocket IOs for high speed serial connections capable of various high-speed serial
standards.
• LVDS connections for high speed parallel connections
• LVTTL connections and connectors.
This variety of connectors and interfaces provides a wide range of development options for
designers to explore the capabilities of the comprehensive Sundance TIM modules and carriers
family.
1.2. PURPOSE
The SMT398VP provides:
• High-speed interface to Sundance ADC/DAC modules/mezzanines.
• High-speed interface to Sundance DSP modules.
• High-speed interface to a Host via Sundance RSL carriers.
(SMT145)
• Provide high-speed serial or parallel interface to the outside world.
• Fit in any configuration on Sundance carriers, i.e on its own, on a stand-alone carrier or
in a Host as part of a system.
1.3. APPLICABILITY
Interface to other FPGA, DSP, ADC/DAC modules and in stand alone systems.
